Chapter 320: Chapter 284: Break the Magic!

He felt it necessary to let Hongtian Great Saint and the others know about this matter, and so, he spoke of it, albeit in an indirect manner, under the guise of an invented teacher named Mr. Qian.

He claimed that his teacher, Mr. Qian, had once learned of some profound secrets related to the Tiandu Continent within the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

In the Ancient Era, there existed an incomparably terrifying Great Demon King who brought disaster to humanity, who later encountered an Ancient Great Power unparalleled through the ages and a profound ancient battle ensued.

Eventually, the Supreme Great Demon King was suppressed by the Ancient Great Power, the true Ancient Ancestor who founded the Tiandu Continent, buried deep beneath the earth with layers of seals imposed, attempting to use the power of time to eradicate all signs of life from the Demon King.

But over countless years, while the power of time worked to erase the Demon King, it also caused the seals to ultimately begin to crumble, leading to the overflow of Demonic Qi, which infected the Tiandu Continent and became ingrained in the very essence of beings.

Therefore, once someone left the Tiandu Continent, they would transform into demons; it’s feared that the Divine Spirits of the ancient Tiandu Continent who left have turned into demons, slain by the mighty from exotic realms.

While saying these words, Ye Chen carefully observed the expressions of several Tiandu Divine Spirits; unexpectedly, Hongtian Great Saint and the other Divine Spirits weren’t much shocked, which seemed to suggest they had prior knowledge, much to his surprise.

"Hongtian Great Saint said, "Ye Chen, my young friend, the secrets told by Mr. Qian are indeed something we have come across before. In fact, after entering the Void Sky Domain and repairing our Daoist Law’s deficiencies, we became aware of this issue—that deep within the human origin, a Demonic Order Divine Chain has indeed integrated."

They were truly exceptional beings, among the mightiest of the Tiandu Continent, able to sense the cosmos and receive messages from the cosmic origin, and sensibly aware of this.

This Demonic Order Divine Chain has taken deep root within the human origin, and with the passage of time, it will fully merge into the depths of the origin, difficult to eradicate.

If it were not for a particularly strong and mysterious force that constantly envelops this world, completely suppressing this Demonic Order Divine Chain preventing it from erupting, then every being on the Tiandu Continent would thoroughly transform into demons.

Ye Chen inquired, "If so, how did the seniors cope with this? Please forgive my blunt words, but across the ages, once the Holy Realm Gods who left the Tiandu Continent traversed the Space Storm, they no longer had the Ancient Great Power’s seals to protect them, and the Demonic Order Divine Chains in their origins would revive, completely contaminating the source and transforming into demons."

The Martial God Temple Master answered, "My young friend, you need not worry too much. In fact, we have already dissolved most of the demonic chains in our origins. Even without the suppressing force of the Tiandu Continent’s seals, we are able to calmly suppress the demonic nature; the remaining small part is actually us researching the Demonic Qi."

The reasons they came into contact with Demonic Qi were simple: one, because they lived on the Tiandu Continent, subtly contaminated by its influence; second, because the Daoist Law they cultivated was incomplete, with flaws, hence the root of Demonic Qi went undetected.

Upon completing their Dao in the Void Sky Domain, they improved all-around and detected the demonic nature within. Furthermore, the Demonic Qi in each of their bodies was actually very weak, easily resolved and suppressed with their means, so there was no need to be corrupted and demonized like the Divine Spirits of ancient times.

So that was the case; Ye Chen now understood the reasons behind it.

Then the Divine Spirits also mentioned that it’s simple to leave the Tiandu Continent without being demonized: they could just remove the demonic nature from the origin of the living beings on the Tiandu Continent.

Having achieved their level of cultivation, they are capable of many things unimaginable to ordinary people.

This is referred to as the Divine Spirit’s method; similarly, those in the Saintly Treasure Realm within the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms are known as Saints, their transcendental entrance into sainthood—nothing more than this.

Moreover, some among them had cultivated an ancient Holy Light Technique left from times before history, which is the strongest counter to demonic nature. Although not experts, they are able to suppress it.

Demonic Qi is also a kind of special power but tends to become evil, a forbidden zone in cultivators’ practice. However, under the suppressive force of the cosmic origin of the Tiandu Continent, the Tiandu Divine Spirits do not need to worry about this aspect. On the contrary, they study the Demonic Qi, hence developing another form of offensive technique for the upcoming Heaven Punishment battle against formidable beings from exotic realms.

"My seniors, actually on the King’s Ancient Road, we found a garden left by an Ancient Great Power, obtaining many rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures..." Ye Chen revealed the space within him, which was dazzlingly bright with radiating colors and bursting with a thick herbal fragrance, truly eye-catching and startling.

Originally, having seen everything, the usual Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures hardly caught the eye of the several Tiandu Divine Spirits. However, what Ye Chen produced were priceless materials over five thousand years old, not only many times more potent than ordinary ones of the same kind but also, due to their millennial age, capable of extending one’s lifespan to some extent.

This is truly what defies the heavens!

Ye Chen took out thirty Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, each over five thousand years old, some even eight to nine thousand, and handed them over, leaving the six Supreme Divine Spirits dumbstruck.
